I am looking to purchase my first glider. I have been looking at the
ASW20 and the LS6. Any suggestions on which glider would be the best
all around? I have heard that the LS6 has a narrow cockpit. I am 6'2"
200 lbs. and would be wearing a parachute. Also heard that the ASW20
can be a little unforgiving to the uninitiated in the spin department.
Both seem to have very similar performance data. All that being said
it is appearing to me it may be Ford vs Chevy

I suggest it hinge on glider and trailer condition, and price. If you
plan to land in short fields over trees, go for the ASW 20. The landing
flaps are awesome. If you can find an ASW 20 B/C, you also get automatic
hookup elevator and a great disk brake.
